If there's one thing that I enjoy doing no matter how tiring it can be, it's shopping! I love to shop for anything, whether it's for myself, my husband and of course my kids. And, for a mom like me, one thing that gets me all giddy is, whenever I hear the word SALE! Well, who wouldn't right? That's why when I found out that Baby Company is having an "All Things Baby Sale" I see to it that we give it a visit.

Baby Company is a one-stop shop for all your baby essentials, from newborn clothes, feeding bottles, sterilizer, strollers, toys, you name it! My kids are no longer babies, but Brianna being the youngest, is still my baby and I was able to score some good deals for her.

Apart from that, I was also able to scout for gift ideas for my baby nieces and nephews. And, I'd like to share with you some of my top picks.

Top Picks:

I am a breastfeeding advocate that's why the first thing that I looked for was breast pumps. If mommies cannot directly breastfeed their babies, because she needs to go back to work then breast pumps will be of great help.

We only had a limited time last Sunday since we already went there around 7 in the evening. We just got the things the kids needed at the moment and just scouted for gift ideas. But we will surely go back this coming weekend to take advantage of the SALE!

Here's another good news, mommies! If you are a Mom Card Holder, for a P3,500.00 single receipt purchase you get a free cutie Zoobie Chair for your little one! You can also apply for a Mom Card if you don't have one.

So mommies, make sure to visit your nearest Baby Company store and take advantage of the "All Things Baby Sale!"

It is so easy to spend money. From a trip to the supermarket just walking home from work, we can spend, spend, spend! A coffee here and there really adds up, as do the things that we do around the house. It seems like the world is full of instant gratification, and that the idea that if you don’t spend, you’ll be unhappy.

With the current economic climate, more and more young people are having problems buying their own homes. Unless you’re willing to live at home for a long time or you’ve had an inheritance that’s big enough to help you out with a deposit, you might have accepted that for the time being, you’re on the conveyor belt of renting rather than the ladder of property investment. That isn’t always a bad thing - you’re free to move wherever you want whenever you want, and you can still make your home feel like your own little space. Here are some tips to help…

Read Your Lease Agreement Carefully

First and foremost, make sure that you’ve read your contract very carefully to figure out what exactly is and isn’t allowed in your rented home. Some landlords will permit things that others won’t, like putting holes in the wall to put pictures up. Some will even allow you to repaint the walls. You need to make sure that the changes you want to make to your new home won’t affect whether or not you get your deposit back at the end - you might not feel as though putting up that poster was worth not getting all that money back when it comes down to it.

Buying your first home is arguably the most important consumer purchase you’ll ever make. It is the most valuable item you will have bought to date, and will set the tone for your entire future as a property owner. Therefore, getting the process right is imperative.

It is a daunting task that faces many potential hurdles along the way. Moreover, as an inexperienced buyer, you are more vulnerable than most. So what are the most common problems you could face, and how can you overcome them?

What’s better than going on a relaxing holiday to someplace spectacular? Going with your children, of course! However, there can be far more considerations and issues that arise when playing a trip with children, especially if they’re still toddlers and unsure about traveling on a plane. However, a trip to Disneyland will knock their socks off and make them scream with joy when you announce your big plans.

Summer is now upon us, the cold remnants of the Christmas winds finally turn into the humid and almost non-existent breeze of summer. Time to lounge by the pool or the beach to cool-off from the heat, unless you are the type who finds great satisfaction relaxing indoors with another cool companion—the air conditioner.

Everyone deserves a space in their home where they can relax and let go of the stress of daily life. But not everyone has that space or even knows where to create one. You might think that you don't have anywhere in your home to create a peaceful space where you can relax. However, you can make just about any space in your home a sanctuary to help you unwind whenever you need it. When you share your house with other people, where exactly can you go for some time to yourself? Try one of these locations that you either already have or can add to your home.

Out of all the stressful things we experience in life, nothing hits as hard as a sudden and overwhelming change in circumstances. It’s the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about, and it’s the situations that we know will eventually come but we feign ignorance and forget about it so that we don’t get stressed out.

Situations like the death of a family member, a divorce, or even experiencing a car crash can be incredibly stressful times that we all want to avoid. Sadly, it’s a difficult time for everyone involved and we can’t simply turn our backs to these issues and pretend nothing is going on. It’s an unpleasant subject to talk about, but it’s important that you try to prepare yourself for these eventual situations.

Holiday destinations can be hard to choose at the best of times, especially as there is, in this day and age, so many things on offer to see and do. But choosing a holiday destination for yourself and your family is even tougher. You have to bear in mind the needs of everybody involved: the other half has to be happy, the kids have to be happy and you have to be happy. When it comes to choosing a destination that will provide fun for the whole family, it’s important to remember that the needs of everything must be remembered.

It’s very important to remember that, despite how close your family may be, everybody is different and enjoys doing different things. Life would be boring if everybody enjoyed the same things, which is why it is important that, especially in a holidaying environment, each individual is given the opportunity to choose freely what they do. The perfect environment to induce this type of freedom is a waterpark. This is because they, one, offer adrenaline junkies the chance to ride water at excessive speeds as if they were on a rollercoaster, two, offers those who prefer to sunbathe and have the occasional swim the chance to do so, and three, it offers children the chance to really explore water, especially if it is their first chance to do so. There are a plethora of waterparks situated in all corners of the globe, particularly in those warm countries that are situated close to the equator. For instance, Siam Park in Tenerife, the self-titled ‘Water Kingdom’, is rife with attractions such as the Mai Thai River and Floating Market, for those that want to relax; the Naga Racer and Jungle Snake, for families activities; and Tower of Power for all those adrenaline junkies. Waterparks offer families the perfect opportunity for kids and adults alike to embrace their adventurous sides, whilst allowing for those with far more relaxed dispositions the chance to embrace the summer the way that is supposed to be embraced: in the heat in front of a pool.

When your child is at home, you’re able to keep a watchful eye on them to ensure they’re kept as healthy and fit as possible. Too much time playing video games? You’re on it. Playing in dirty areas ripe for disease? You’re on it. But while you can make sure they’re kept well at home, what about at school, where they spend the majority of their day? His or her teachers can’t be watching your child all the time. It’s up to you to ensure they’re kept healthy.

The road is dangerous for every driver. Even if you are an experienced driver, there’s no guarantee that everyone else on the road is too. As a result, unfortunately, more often than not, road accidents occur. Not all of them end in dramatic circumstances, but there are all traumatic and painful. Every car accident requires a recovery, whether it is legal, financial, physical or emotional. So, even though it isn’t a thought that anybody would like to juggle with, you need to be aware of the main recovery steps after a car crash.

As a busy mom, we have a lot on our plate. Not only do we have to look after the kids, go to work each day and handle the chores, but we also have to ensure the family is happy, healthy and well-fed. It can really take a lot out of you and leave you in a constant state of fatigue.

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way – check out these simple tips for reenergizing in an instant:

Up Your Magnesium Intake

If you are eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, there is a good chance you are already getting your recommended daily dose of magnesium, but if you’re still feeling too tired to do anything much, there is a chance that you could be deficient and might well

benefit from either upping your intake of magnesium rich foods like avocadoes bananas and beans, or taking a daily supplement until things improve.

It is the time of year where people start thinking about their gardens. Your home will always be on your mind, but you will want your garden in top shape for the spring and summer months to ensure that you can enjoy it to its fullest potential. If you were thinking of adding something to your garden as a focal point then this can be it. Or, alternately, you can use it as a small addition in a corner or edge, that can just be part of a wider garden. The choice is yours. If you are considering a pond there are certain things you need to think about. You may have already thought these through, but if not, you need to give them consideration.

It’s never easy to get people to take you seriously when you work from home. They think they can drop by whenever they want. Worse, they get offended when you don’t drop everything for them. Being a work at home mom is even harder. You may have chosen this career so you could work your hours around your children. But, the kids won’t understand why you can’t spend time with them when you’re right there. At least if you were at the office, they would understand you’re busy! And then there’s the problem of not being able to get to work before all the chores are done. Before you know it, you’re falling behind, and the house still isn’t clean. So, how can you balance home and work when the two are so linked?

Everyone needs a little bit of encouragement in life sometimes. Even those of us who are generally confident will encounter difficulty here and there, and will need a little pep talk. For most of us, this is something we can do ourselves. Over a quick coffee or a snack, we say: “you’ve dealt with worse before” or “this is a challenge, but I’ll be stronger for it”.

What we have to be careful about is the line we sometimes cross. On one side of it, there is helpful encouragement. On the other, there are kind lies we tell ourselves to deal with niggling issues, the stress of bringing up kids, or dealing with a daily grind. These lies can be small and harmless. What we need to be sure of, though, is that we don’t become too used to telling ourselves what we want to hear.

All parents want to be able to say that they did the best they could by their children. The truth is, our commonly held ideas about what this entails are often far too strict to uphold. Actually, being a good parent is a relatively simple and easy thing to do, as long as you are able to provide a few basic things for your family on the whole. In this article, we are going to look at some of those essentials. It is fair to say that as long as you are providing your children with these vital few, then you are succeeding as a parent. Let’s take a look at what they are - and how to get them right.

As a parent, there is nothing better than seeing your kid smile as they play sport, exercising their ability to excel in something they love doing. And there no prouder moment that standing on the sideline or shouting on the bleachers as you see them represent their school or club, playing in front of a cheering crowd. Sport is incredible, and the joy they get from it is just one of the benefits.

When your kid loves a sport, they learn vital life skills as well as the most vital, happiness. They learn the importance of discipline, of teamwork and cooperation, they learn about motivation, commitment, how to win gracefully and lose with dignity, and the importance of exercise and well-being - and all of these will help them succeed throughout life. This is part of the reason why so many children are introduced to sports from the moment they can walk (or crawl) before they can even read.

If you are a mom, you will know the true meaning of the word busy. In fact, as a mom, you get very little time for yourself even when you're in the bathroom! But there are some ways you can claim back a little time in the day, while still doing a top notch job of caring for you little ones. Read on to find out more.

Prepared snacks

So, one of the biggest things that are a drain on your time as a mom, is all the preparation and cooking of food that you have to do.

With so much stuff in the media these days about how prepared foods are bad for you, it can really feel like you have to make absolutely everything from scratch. But worry not, because there are some healthy options that come ready prepared so you can just pop then you bag and go when you are on your way out of the house.

Time never moves so fast as it does when you’re a parent. One minute, your baby is tiny and helpless, the next, they’re taller than you and have a mind of their own. With time moving so fast, it can be hard to keep up. But, it’s important you try. Treating your child as a baby when they’re not can cause to a divide. They’ll feel misunderstood and frustrated. Instead, it’s important you acknowledge the age they are. That acknowledgment includes the room you provide for them. Modernizing your interiors is always worth doing. With ever-growing children, redecoration will be even more necessary. They need a room that expresses who they are, and who they are is changing all the time. So, what do you need to update?

Of course, many women are prone to strange carving during pregnancy of food that they would not normally eat or wouldn't put together. You can find some example of bizarre pregnancy craving here.

As spring starts to rear its beautiful head, it gives us time to take stock of our lives, and remember everything we love about the outside world. Pretty soon we’ll be able to throw our windows open, walk in the park among blossom, and invite our nearest and dearest over for barbecues and summer parties. But the good old British weather can make some of these trickier than our fantasies might hope. Bringing the garden, in all its fresh and beautiful greenery, into our homes brings brightness, life, and summer, even when it’s raining.

Certain patterns, colors, and accessories that once looked sleek and modern can look frumpy and outdated when trends move on. This is unavoidable, and generally, something to embrace.

Choose well, and these will last you through all of the different decor changes over the years. They’re the kind of thing that simply don’t go out of style.
